Making Remote Operations look Easy during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Being a technology powerhouse, NTT had the advantage to pull through the pandemic on its own. But, it chose to go a step ahead and play a leadership role, enabling thousands of frontline workers and remote IT teams to avail of its widely-acclaimed solutions and services. In addition to securing remote workplace operations with seamless VPN connectivity and event management solutions, NTT also ensured that these teams and participants are protected from any kind of cyber attack.

For example, NTT Ltd. deployed its highly-skilled cybersecurity executives and consultants in high-risk zones. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, NTT Ltd. employees were fighting cyber-attacks through the Hospital Incident Response Solution.

NTT provided these cyber threat intelligence services for free. Five hospitals were the direct beneficiaries of these services as NTT Ltd. managed to contain and remedy cyber attacks so these healthcare facilities could focus on patient care and saving lives.

Remote Access Services versus Cyberattacks: NTT Ltd. on the Frontline with MSP Innovations

While the healthcare workers were fighting the coronavirus pandemic that had its origins in Wuhan in mainland China, NTT Ltd. was fighting a different battle against another unfamiliar evil — the cybercriminals.

According to its latest report on the global managed services industry, NTT Ltd. pointed out that reducing security risks remains one of the most important reasons to choose and deploy a managed service provider (MSPs).

The report states that MSPs add incredible value to security postures (44%) and financial stability to the overall business (43%). Almost a similar percentage of respondents also feel that automation is the true driver of an MSP’s effectiveness in the new-age of IT management– a highly competitive space that is already witnessing the widening of gaps between the Cloud service platforms, Big Data Analytics and AIOps service providers.

However, NTT Ltd. remains firmly in the leadership position during this transition to the neo-IT era, an era that is witnessing a rapid rise of the Open Banking and Digital Financial Services.

In the last few months, NTT Ltd. has managed to deploy its wide spectrum of managed secure Remote Access Network (RAN) solutions for a leading financial services institution in Hong Kong. The entire IT architecture and applications were deployed in record time, enabling thousands of employees to continue serving customers from their respective remote workplaces.

Using IoT Innovations to Free Animals: The Connected Conservation with Cisco

NTT Ltd. partnered with another technology services company Cisco to stack multiple tech capabilities with sensors and IoT devices.

The mission: To track wildlife and ensure their free movement, warning the human population against direct confrontation with the animals even as the two populations stay close to each other.

NTS Ltd. with the help of CCTV, Cameras, Motion sensors, and IoT-based connected devices, managed to build a highly sophisticated IT, Cloud and Managed Services, Analytics and Intelligence systems for the Connected Conservation program.

By simply using the multiple technologies with CCTV Cameras, biometric scanning and Point-to-point reserve network, the program has managed to reduce human incursions into the wildlife by 68% in the last one year.

Poaching has been significantly reduced in the high-risk areas, with zero counts of rhino poaching in the last three years.

On this company’s first anniversary as a new entity, Jason Goodall, Global envisioned the blueprint for the future during the COVID-19.

Jason said, “The COVID-19 has brought about new challenges for economies, businesses and individuals, and innovation will be key for companies to rebound. We are committed to empowering our people, clients, and partners to build a connected future together.”

NTT Ltd. CEO added,

“COVID-19 has also forced businesses to question what they can improve in the ‘new normal’. We will measure the impact of our new business and use those learnings to set clear measurable goals to drive our sustainability strategy forward. This is just the beginning of the positive changes we can make using technology.”

In the next few months, NTT Ltd. is expected to continue with its effective technology innovations for IT and Enterprise Business Applications. It is expected to stay in the headlines through its IT leadership insights, considering how it has managed to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic crisis through strong security protocols and agility with contextual user experience as its core offerings.

This year, NTT Ltd. has joined 16 other global brands such as The Coca Cola Company, Avanti, Google, Diageo, Microsoft, and Nike. In the “decade of delivery” for sustainable development, NTT’s role as an enabler of connected future remains very clear and transparent.
